| BYOMA | Melting Balm Cleanser, Brightening Toner & Moisturizing Rich Cream |
This is a lightweight but nourishing cleansing balm designed to remove dirt, oil, makeup, and SPF. Formulated with olive oil, grape oil, niacinamide, and ceramides, the BYOMA Melting Balm Cleanser is solid in the jar but upon massaging onto the skin, melts into a light oil that spreads easily. The formulation emulsifies nicely with water and washes off without leaving much residue. This is definitely one of the lighter, more refreshing cleansing balms I've tried and I love the affordable pricing (especially when on sale at Shoppers).

Packaged in a tall rectangular bottle with a small opening to shake out the product, the BYOMA Brightening Toner is formulated with lactic acid, willow bark extract, ceramides, mandelic acid, and birch juice. The lightly exfoliating formulation has a watery consistency that spreads and absorbs very easily. The toner has no discernable scent and it doesn't feel stingy or irritating. I wish BYOMA disclosed the AHAs' concentration but from what I can tell, the formulation feels fairly gentle so it should be okay for most skin types and everyday use.
Ingredients: Water, Dipropylene Glycol, Sodium Lactate, Lactic Acid, Glycerin, Diglycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Urea, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Ceramide NP, Mandelic Acid, Benzoic Acid, Sphingolipids, Sodium Phytate, Betula Alba (Birch) Juice, Tocopherol, Benzaldehyde, Ethylhexylglycerin, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate.

Last but not least is a moisturizer from BYOMA. Previously, I reviewed the BYOMA Moisturizing Gel-Cream, which I really enjoyed and have since finished. The Moisturizing Rich Cream features a slightly more nourishing formulation made with shea, a tri-ceramide complex (ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids), and bakuchiol. Packaged in an airless pump, the Moisturizing Rich Cream has a thicker consistency compared to the Moisturizing Gel-Cream but it doesn't feel overly heavy or greasy. It is a more heavy-duty moisturizer perfect for the wintertime or for those with dry skin. For acne-prone skin, some of the ingredients may be comedogenic so I would recommend checking out the Moisturizing Gel-Cream instead.
